Whispers and Screams

At first a whisper, then a scream
A voice that enters my every dream


There is a quiet before the thunder
A pause before a flame
The silence is broken
By you calling my name


Shadows move across my path
Where our stories grow
Stars look on with quiet grace
As I hear songs we know


A fire inside, but now faint and low
I wait for you to call my name
But the dark dances in
As the sun has lost its flame


No longer your light
To show me where to go
I just hear whispers and screams
And pain continues to grow.
